About series
'I can't reveal too much without giving away...'
Nair revealed, "This series is very different from everything I've done till now." "I can't reveal too much without giving away too much, so let's just say I play a very quirky character." "It's dark satire, it's fun, and we've been able to shoot it quite interestingly. I am very happy with the output so far."
Career choices
On being selective about her roles
Nair, who has acted in eight films since her debut in 2012, revealed that she has been selective about her roles. She said, "I wasn't ready to just take anything that came my way." "I wanted to make sure that every movie I did had something for me to do, instead of just doing the movie for the sake of it."
More about career
On her sporadic releases since 2012
Nair clarified that this was not a deliberate decision but rather a result of timing and script availability. Since her return in 2022, she has been doing one film per year. She explained, "By the time I do a movie, and it comes out, either it's not received the way I wanted to, or there isn't space for somebody like me for any role then." Meanwhile, Kaakee Circus will release on Friday on ZEE5.
